RT @ClowESPN As streaks go in college football, @FSUFootball finishing in the Top 5 of the final AP poll for 14 straight seasons under @TheBobbyBowden from 1987-2000 is the hallmark of consistency. Even Alabama with its incredible success under Nick Saban has only done it four straight years. pic.twitter.com/T8q5…

My pc is afflicted with an evil spirit which makes both Firefox 3.6 and IE8 lock up on sites with complex content, like the fox news home page and Farmville (almost causing my DSW to lose her bumper grape harvest). It has resisted my feeble attempts at exorcism – Norton Antivirus, Iobit utilities, complete removal and reinstallation of both browsers without add-ins. It seems like it has to do with shockwave, because it locks up after we put that back in.

Adding to the mystery, we have a secure user ID in XP pro SP3 in which more sensitive information is kept (tax records & whatnot). Whilst I was in under that User, the browser. Worked. So maybe it's embedded somehow in the normal user ID?

Non-genius answer: It's a shockwave problem. The sad part is that it's hard to know for sure where it is causing the problem.
